Online gaming slow

Theboinkmaster

Heya

Hoping you guys can help me out. In my previous apartment we had a dedicated 2mb magent wireless line so was great for internet browsing, torrents and online gaming on the ps3.

However in my new apartment i have UPC 10mb line and whilst torrents and internet browsing are perfect my online play is quite bad and laggy.

I've been told this is nothing do with my d/l speed but the ping? On speedtest.net i get anything between 20-50ms. The D/l speed is usually 5-9.5mbs so that's what i'd expect.

My question is - is there anything i can do, in terms of router settings or anything else, to speed up online play on the ps3?

My router is a black cisco one - any help would be greatly appreciated!

ps just did pingtest and got 30ms and a B rating (and jitter of 20ms whatever that is). And the wireless router is connected directly to the ps3

Were you using wireless in your previous apartment? Because I have found that wireless internet generally suffers from some lag compared to a hardline. Im no sure how to fix it but im sure someone will have some suggestions
